Leptin Effects on Pancreatic β-Cell Gene Expression and Function

Open access
Seufert, Jochen·2004·Diabetes

Abstract

The hormone leptin is secreted from white adipocytes, and serum levels of leptin correlate with adipose tissue mass. Leptin was first described to act on the satiety center in the hypothalamus through specific receptors (leptin receptor [ObR]) to restrict food intake and enhance energy expenditure. Important peripheral actions of leptin involve inhibition of insulin biosynthesis and secretion in pancreatic β-cells. In turn, insulin stimulates leptin secretion from adipose tissue, establishing a hormonal regulatory feedback loop—the so-called “adipo-insular axis.” Multiple signal transduction pathways are involved in leptin signaling in pancreatic β-cells. We have identified the proinsulin gene and protein phosphatase 1 gene as leptin repressed genes and the gene for the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 protein as a leptin-induced gene in pancreatic β-cells. The molecular effects of leptin culminate to restrict insulin secretion and biosynthesis to adapt glucose homeostasis to the amount of body fat. In most overweight individuals, however, physiological regulation of body weight by leptin seems to be disturbed, representing “leptin resistance.” This leptin resistance at the level of the pancreatic β-cell may contribute to dysregulation of the adipo-insular axis and promote the development of hyperinsulinemia and manifest type 2 diabetes in overweight patients.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
